My Cello
Andrew owns a cello made by William Whedbee. Mr. Whedbee makes cellos modeled after Francesco Ruggieri and Giuseppe Guarneri. Andrew owns a Ruggieri model. Ruggieri models tend to be slightly smaller which fits great with his hand!
When Andrew bought his Whedbee cello, William made his instruments exclusively for Bein & Fushi, a dealer of fine instruments located in the Fine Arts Building in his home city of Chicago, Illinois. Mr. Whedbee now sells his instruments out of his own shop. Andrew's Whedbee cello was made in 1993. It has a willow one piece back that makes for a smooth, deep, and rich sound. He fell in love with the cello because of its warm sound and ability to express his musicality.
My Bow
Andrew owns a bow made by Jon Vanderhorst. It has silver accessories (screw, etc.). Andrew's Vanderhorst bow along with his Whedbee cello create a beautiful warmth and a synergy that he could not find with any other bow.
